Have you done an alignment yet? If so, any issues getting in spec?

How are the driving impressions thus far?

1. Put the 12's up front as well for shit's n giggles -- Still minor rub on full lock. In knowing I was going to need to do a bit of heating/cutting down there anyway, I preferred the more flush set up vs running a super aggressive stance in the rear and being skinny up font. I call this currently"flush-ish..." I think this might be the ideal set up for someone who wants a loud, yet conservative set up without rear fender roll, or more intrusive means on front.

2. Anticipating a bit more settling up front. Will be addressing alignment with Texas track works in roughly 2 weeks as needed. http://texastrackworks.com/

3. I daily my G80. Put about 70 miles on her this AM in variable driving conditions. Bumpy open stretches of farm to market, freeway and city. I report a true OEM +. I remember someone describing them as "softer" than OEM. I think i'd subjectively use the term more "plush". The ride is far from jaring. It feels as though I am better planted and low profile.. and dare I say, even more so confident than I was before. Very, very happy with this set up. I was concerned with seeing news of the KW HAS starting to drop -- but I couldn't of envision myself being happier with a spring, let alone price point.

I remember not so fondly running a swift type r race spring on my N54 10 years ago... This is quite a different experience. I think my chiro sponsored Swift -- or maybe it was I doing the sponsoring $$$
